Come on BRD and Fuzz  You are telling me you remember that era?  Kind of blurry to me!

Yep, I read 'em horizontally! Yep, interest seems to be going down.

Ya know, hang Christmas lights on it and top it with a star. Add a red bulb, yeah that's all it needs!

Interest may seem to be fading due to the lack of interesting content. 

I know I look in often but see the same old arguments going on and surf away.  I also see high numbers of visitors not necessarily logging on as a user.  I wonder what that would mean on the graph. 

As for starting new topics . . . . . come on!  Arguments happen in "Recipe" threads.  I wouldn't be surprised if that creates hesitation to start a topic. 

There have been many recurring comments made as to the boring state of the forum and how it's not the same, missing long-time users who have moved on (some who I miss) and what the future may hold for MT.


I still say it is what it is and those interested will stay and some who will move on.  I hope it will continue to change and morph thereby growing new "long time users" and perhaps drawing some MIA's to come back around.  Who knows.

Pretty much the same as the other two I posted, it would fall under page views, and most of them are either Baidu or spiders.

It might be scrawny and losing its needles, but it's ours, dangit, and we love it!

I'm not sure I agree with that. 

Guest Views are typically high.  At this moment, they are 22 and spiders are 8 and users are 2.

I think the visits to this forum remain consistent and relatively high.  It's just the number of people choosing to actually participate in "conversations" that have waned dramatically.  And, that's reflective of something I think we all understand. 

No graph needed.   JMO

Guests now 30.

[superspice_10]

HEY .. I Saw my Name  , How awsome is that !!!!!! 

[lordfly]

Guests now 30.

That doesn't mean much; 28 of those 30 are probably search engine spiders.

Monroe Unfiltered routinely reported dozens of guests as well.

. . . . . or they're people looking in.   I believe they're people looking in. 

I think the spiders and baidu #s are what you're describing. 


Why is that hard to believe?   I think it's completely in line with what's going on. 

People are curious to keep an eye in.  Makes perfect sense.   I suspect even some of the long-time MIA's are probably part of the "Guest" #s.  JMO

I'm still watching.....just not participating near as much.  Work, travel, and finding the time to jump on just hasn't been there of late.

Still enjoy it....just not pot stirring anymore.   

Humm....maybe that's why my post count is down.
